 ::on the bridge at SCI 1::
 
CO Cutter
 ::on the bridge.  big seat, no job::
 
SO La’tan
 ::at helm wishing he was at one of the science station::

CNS Cutter
 ::eyes big seat. Fantasizes about wranglers::
 
SO La’tan
 ::adjusts the ship’s direction a little bit to stay on course::

CTO Kostandinos
 ::on the bridge, using all her concentration to stay focused::
 
CO Cutter
 SO:  ETA to the planet?
   
CSO Lys
 ::looking for anything of interest on the sensors::

EO Davidson
 ::arrives on the bridge with a PADD in hand:: CO: Efficiency Report sir ::hands the PADD to Captain::

CNS Cutter
 :::keeps an eye on Ash::

SO La’tan
 CO: The ETA is about 10 minutes to the planet, Captain.
 
CO Cutter
 SO:  Very well.
 
CO Cutter
 EO:  Summarize for me.
 
CO Cutter
 CSO:  Anything on scanners?
 
SO La’tan
 ::adjusts the inertial dampners::
   
CSO Lys
 CO:  Nothing to report yet.

EO Davidson
 CO: As usual, we are at full readiness, baring that the SO doesn't run into anything while in the driver’s seat.
 
CO Cutter
 EO:  Sounds good to me.
 
CO Cutter
 CTO:   How bout you?  Any other ships in the area?

CNS Cutter
 ::walks slowly around the bridge until she finally comes to a stop near the CTO::

EO Davidson
 ::smiles over at the SO:: CO: I'll be down in engineering if you need me.
 
SO La’tan
 EO: I've flown freighters older then your grandfather.  Remember that. ::feeling a bit insulted by the EO's comment::
 
CO Cutter
 EO:  Very well.

CTO Kostandinos
 CO: No sir, scanners are empty.
   
CSO Lys
 ::sees the same high levels of chronoton activity that has been present since they entered the restricted area.  It's almost starting to look normal.::
 
CO Cutter
 CTO/OPS/CSO: Any sign of the planet or are we flying towards empty space?

EO Davidson
 SO: Sure thing, Ensign. ::walks towards the TL and nods in the direction of the CTO and CNS::

OPS Coreena
 CO:  Nothing on the comm system.
 
CO Cutter
 ::nods at the CTO's report::

EO Davidson
 TL: Engineering.

CNS Cutter
 ::very quietly::  CTO: How you holding up, Ashlynn?

CTO Kostandinos
 ::w:: CNS: How would you be?  ::not trying to be mean or sarcastic::
   
CSO Lys
 ::overhears the exchange between Davidson and La'tan.  Sends a text message to the helm.  "Take it easy, La'tan."::  

CNS Cutter
 CTO: Losing it big time. ::quietly but honestly:: You look to be doing better than I would be, if you want the truth.

EO Davidson
 ::enters engineering and goes right for the console infront of the warp core::
 
CO Cutter
 CSO:  I'd appreciate an answer, Talan.

CTO Kostandinos
 CNS: I probably look a lot better than I feel.
   
CSO Lys
 CO: I'm not seeing a planet, but it could be from the interference in the area.  I still have stellar cartography working on comparing the current state of the region with that found from the logs of the stranded vessels.
 
CO Cutter
 CSO:  When are you expecting that answer?
 
SO La’tan
 CO: We might be able to use tetryons to help invert the polarity of the sensors to help us detect the planet, sir.
   
CSO Lys
 CO: They are having problems.  I think they are related to the temporal disturbances.  They should have a preliminary report within the hour.
 
SO La’tan
 ::turns head toward the CO::

CNS Cutter
 ::nods:: CTO: Understandable.  You do know that I'm here if you need me, right?  And I don't mean in a nasty head-shrinker kinda way.  More in the "we're friends and both women involved with impossible men" kinda way.  ::smiles::
 
CO Cutter
 ::nods at the SO::  CSO:  What do you think of your son's idea?
   
CSO Lys
 ::stares at the CO::  CO: My son, sir?

OPS Coreena
 ::turns around and looks at the captain with a raised eyebrow::

CTO Kostandinos
 ::thinks "Don't get me started about your impossible man":: CNS: I know... ::sighs:: unless you think you can change your "impossible man's" mind though, I don't know as there is a lot that can be accomplished just by talking.
 
SO La’tan
 ::waiting for a reply on what to do.:: CO: May I remind you that I am over 600 hundred years old, sir.

CO Cutter
 ::keeps his temper with an effort::  CSO:  The SO, Talan.

EO Davidson
 ::goes and sits down at the duty station starts to enter the report into the engineering logs::
 
CO Cutter
 SO:  Congrats Ensign,  Happy Birthday.

OPS Coreena
 ::turns and looks at the SO and then back at the captain, still very much confused::
 
SO La’tan
 ::looks at the flight controls::

CNS Cutter
 ::while sympathetic she looks at her like she's nuts:: CTO: If you think anyone has EVER changed his mind for him then you really do need to come visit me.  During office hours!  ::lightly teases before getting serious again::
   
CSO Lys
 CO:  We can try, but this area is highly unstable.  It isn't without merit though.  If you can spare him from the helm, perhaps he can work on the idea in Engineering.

CNS Cutter
 CTO: No, I know.  But just remember if you need to vent or anything I'm around, okay?
 
SO La’tan
 ::excited that I might do something::

CTO Kostandinos
 ::smiles, as much as she can while being so nervous:: CNS: Yeah, I know.

OPS Coreena
 ::Seeing she is not going to be enlightened any time soon, she turns back around.::
 
CO Cutter
 SO:  How long would it take?

CNS Cutter
 ::gives her a small reassuring smile and heads back to her seat::
   
CSO Lys
 ::gets a message:: CO: We have identified a planetary body, sir.
 
CO Cutter
 ::points to the empty screen::  CSO:  Where?
 
SO La’tan
 CO: Should take several hours, sir.
 
SO La’tan
 ::looks at helm and the screen::
 
CO Cutter
 SO:  Stand by then, I may have you try it, but let's see what we get here first.
 
SO La’tan
 CO: Yes, sir.

OPS Coreena
 ::Narrows the communication arc towards the general area noted and increases power.::
 
SO La’tan
 CO: Maybe the planets cloaked.
 
CO Cutter
 ::looks at the SO::  SO:  But good thinking, Ensign.
   
CSO Lys
 CO:  Out there.  We are reading the gravity of a solar system in this area.
 
CO Cutter
 SO:  The power to pull that off would be incredible, not impossible though.
 
CO Cutter
 SO:  All stop.

CNS Cutter
 ::watches her husband closely, narrows her eyes::
   
CSO Lys
 CO: We are going to need to start that work on the sensors to pinpoint it better.
 
SO La’tan
 ::stops the ship:: CO: We're stopped, Captain.
 
CO Cutter
 CSO:  Launch a probe into that gravity well.
   
CSO Lys
 ::launches the appropriate probe:: CO: Probe away.

OPS Coreena
 CO:  Captain, I am picking up radio signals.  They are very week.  I am unable to read them or pick up any specific frequency.
 
CO Cutter
 OPS: Slave the helm to your console and take over.
 
CO Cutter
 OPS:  Source?

CTO Kostandinos
 ::resists the urge to drum her fingers on the console::

OPS Coreena
 CO:  From the area ahead, the gravity well.
 
CO Cutter
 SO:  Start work on your sensor modifications.

OPS Coreena
 ::Slaves flight to OPS::
   
CSO Lys
 SO:  Coordinate with Mr. Davidson and report back to me when you two have a plan.
 
SO La’tan
 ::gets up:: CO: Yes sir. :::heads to the turbolift::
 
SO La’tan
 TL: Head to engineering.
 
CO Cutter
 CSO:  Anything from the probe?

CNS Cutter
 ::makes a note to check in with the CTO regularly::
 
SO La’tan
 ::rides the turbolift down to engineering and then gets off::
   
CSO Lys
 CO: Information coming in now.
 
SO La’tan
 ::heads off to find Lt. Davidson.::
 
CO Cutter
 ::bites back the urge to respond and waits for Talan's report::

EO Davidson
 ::gets up from his station and heads up to the upper area of engineering:: Self: Let's see.  Check to see if chronotons are having any effect on the engines.  ::starts sifting through the information::
 
SO La’tan
 EO: Sir, the Captain sent me here to talk to you about using tetryons to invert the polarity of the sensors to get better resolution.
   
CSO Lys
 ::notes the Captain's mood while getting the info::

EO Davidson
 SO: He did? Well at least it won’t be that boring down here now. Come on up here.We can do the work from here.
 
SO La’tan
 EO: I was thinking we might use the forward sensor pallet subsystems.  Do you think that might work.

CNS Cutter
 ::can feel the tension radiating off the Captain::
   
CSO Lys
 CO:  The probe's readings are consistent with Astrometrics.  There is a solar system out there.  However, there are large chronoton disturbances.  The planets may be experiencing something similar to the ships we encountered.  I'll need time for more information.

EO Davidson
 SO: It might, but the forward sensor array would be taken up by that. We would have to ::starts to think:: Come on up here so we don’t have to shout. ::motions to the ladder leading to Upper Engineering::
 
CO Cutter
 CSO:  Time?!?  ::starts, then stops.  Starts more quietly::  What would happen if we took the ship in there?
 
SO La’tan
 ::heads to upper engineering::
 
SO La’tan
 ::climbing up the ladder and gets off on the platform::

CSO Lys
 CO: Any number of things.  Most likely we could end up like those other ships.
 
CO Cutter
 CSO:  You're still reading the probe, aren't you?

OPS Coreena
 CO: The radio signals are on an AM frequency, not unlike those used on Earth in the late 1930's.
   
CSO Lys
 CO: Currently, yes.
 
SO La’tan
 EO: So how do you think we should start this, Sir.

EO Davidson
 ::taps his comm badge:: *Parli*: Susanna, we’re going to be taking up the forward sensor array. Transfer any work to the other arrays.
 
CO Cutter
 OPS:  AM?  And they're coming from that gravity well, correct?
 
CO Cutter
 CSO:  So what makes you think we would suffer some kind of time displacement?

EO Davidson
 SO: Well, like I said, we are going to more than likely be taking up the whole forward sensor array. Let's just hope we can get a clear reading.

OPS Coreena
 CO:  Yes sir.  It is something that can work on limited resources and is not that hard to build if one has the knowledge.  As for location, as far as I can tell, yes.
   
CSO Lys
 <PO Parli> *EO*: You'll need to clear that with the bridge.  I would suggest using a lateral array if you can. 
 
SO La’tan
 EO: Well, let’s head out to deck 4.
 
CO Cutter
 CTO:  You're the only senior officer whose specialty hasn't come up.  What do you think we should do here?

EO Davidson
 *CSO*: Sir, if we are going to make this work, itmight be a good idea if we could take the forward array off line. Parli suggests the lateral array?
   
CSO Lys
 CO: Those ships, the missing solar system.  Seems awfully likely.  We really don't know what the trigger is.

EO Davidson
 SO: We will get there in due time, Ensign.

CNS Cutter
 ::watches and listens carefully::

CNS Cutter
 ::one never knew what Ashlynn was going to say::
 
SO La’tan
 ::waiting for an answer::
   
CSO Lys
 *EO*:  Start with the lateral arrays.  If you get results then we can talk about the main arrays, but right now we need those online.
 
CO Cutter
 CSO:  There were two sets of coordinates mentioned in the logs, correct?

EO Davidson
 SO: What do you think? Would the lateral sensor array be okay?

CTO Kostandinos
 ::bites her lip, knowing what she WANTS to do:: CO: If we could end up just shifting in and out of phase like they did, then what good would it do to go in there and get ourselves trapped as well, unless there was a way around that.
 
SO La’tan
 EO: I think it might work, Sir.

EO Davidson
 *CSO*: Aye Commander.  We will start with the lateral array. Shouldn't be off line too long. *Parli*: Okay, we will be using the lateral array.
 
CO Cutter
 ::nods approvingly, knowing how hard that was for the CTO:  CTO:  Good point.
   
CSO Lys
 CO: Yes, there were two.
 
CO Cutter
 OPS:  How long to get to the second set of coordinates?

OPS Coreena
 CO:  One moment.

CNS Cutter
 ::lets out a small sigh of relief::

EO Davidson
 SO: Let's go ::slides down the ladder like he's done it before grabs his tool kit and waits at the TL in Engineering::
 
SO La’tan
 EO: Yes, sir. ::follows Davidson::

EO Davidson
 TL: Deck 5

OPS Coreena
 CO: 26 hours.
 
SO La’tan
 EO: So what do you think we'll find on this planet?
 
CO Cutter
 ::shoulders slump::  OPS: 26 hours??  At maximum warp?

EO Davidson
 SO: Hard to say, Ensign.  The trick is that we have to find the planet first.

OPS Coreena
 CO:  No sir, at warp 6.
   
CSO Lys
 CO: I wouldn't suggest anything above warp 4.

CNS Cutter
 ::sits cross-legged in her chair and works on a padd in her lap::
 
SO La’tan
 EO: Funny, I always thought missing planets were just urban legends from freighter pilots.
 
CO Cutter
 ::spins::  CSO:  Why?

CNS Cutter
 ::not looking up:: <w> CO: Breathe, dear.

EO Davidson
 ::enters the sensor control room:: SO: Well, you know what they say.  You learn something new everyday. Now what’s your idea on this?
 
SO La’tan
 ::enters the sensor control room::
 
CO Cutter
 ::trying to decide if he wants to kill his CNS or smile at his wife::
   
CSO Lys
 CO: As we discussed on entering this area, if we go too fast we may run right into a temporal disturbance.  We need the time to navigate around the "bumps in the road."
 
SO La’tan
 EO: This looks a lot more advanced then the old tachyon sensors.

CNS Cutter
 ::looks up briefly and blows him a kiss, letting him know that she's aware of the inner struggle of the moment::

EO Davidson
 SO: Not bad for the best ship in the fleet, egh. ::smiles:: Upgraded these ones myself, with help from Susanna.

OPS Coreena
 ::Turns to look at the Captain to see what he wants to do.::
 
SO La’tan
 ::looks at the EO:: EO: Maybe we can use the subspace routers.

EO Davidson
 ::shakes his head:: SO: Didn't you say something about re-tuning the sensors to the frequency of the tachyons?
 
SO La’tan
 EO: Using tetryons to inverse the polarity of the sensors.

EO Davidson
 SO: I don’t think the routers could handle it. Ensign, we can just inverse the polarity ourselves with out playing with tachyons.  If we can do that then let’s do that.
 
CO Cutter
 OPS:  Set a course for the new coordinates.  Engage at warp 4.
 
CO Cutter
 CSO:  I want a long range probe set up here to feed us data as long as it can.
 
SO La’tan
 EO: So how do we start to inverse the polarity of the sensors?

OPS Coreena
 CO:  Yes sir.  ::Turns around an inputs the new coordinates.::
   
CSO Lys
 CO:  Agreed, the current probe can handle that.
 
CO Cutter
 CSO:  Very well.

EO Davidson
 SO: Well, you’re the sensor expert here.  Why don’t you tell me how you would do it. ::sits on the floor and takes off an access panel::

OPS Coreena
 ::Slows the ship down to warp 4::
 
SO La’tan
 EO: Take the subspace input systems out.

OPS Coreena
 CO:  ETA 52 hours.
 
CO Cutter
 OPS:  Very well.

CNS Cutter
 ::reviews another one of the flagged psych profiles that she was working her way through::
 
CO Cutter
 CSO:  I want a way to move faster, safely.  Make it happen.

EO Davidson
 ::nods and waits for more::
   
CSO Lys
 CO: If the upgrades Ensign La'tan has proposed work, warp 6 should be available in a few hours.
 
SO La’tan
 EO: Then take out the relay chips from the area you got the subspace input system.
 
CO Cutter
 CSO:  Very well.   You have the bridge
   
CSO Lys
 CO: Aye.

EO Davidson
 SO: Wait a second, I think I know where you going with this. Take out the subspace input systems then remodulate it's power output to the inverse frequency.  Put it back in and tie the whole thing into the deflector?
 
CO Cutter
 ::storms off to the ready room, irritated with life in general and time crap in particular::
 
SO La’tan
 EO: Yes, that’s what I’m trying to say.
   
CSO Lys
 ::gives the CNS a glance::

EO Davidson
 SO: See, great mind do think alike even if one is scarier then the other. ::smiles and laughs::

CNS Cutter
 ::raises an eye at the little hissy fit and watches him stomp off::  No one in particular: Well.  That was gracefully done.
 
SO La’tan
 EO: I am curious, did you ever see the old y2ocho series of sensors on some of the older 23rd century ships.

OPS Coreena
 ::Looks back at the Captain and the very red aurora surrounding him and thinks it would be best to stay out of his way.::
   
CSO Lys
 ::walks over to the Counselor:: CNS: Are you going in there, or am I?  ::not really wanting to go in, but duty and all::

CNS Cutter
 CSO: Flip ya for it? ::hopeful::
   
CSO Lys
 ::smiles:: CNS: I don't have a coin.

EO Davidson
 SO: No, I didn't but I did read about the old earth sensors called sonar.  ::voice trails off::

CNS Cutter
 ::sighs:: CSO: I guess I am.  It's kind of my job.  Plus, he is my husband, loathe as I am to admit it sometimes. ::wry smile::

EO Davidson
 *CSO*: Sir, I just came up with another idea here.
   
CSO Lys
 CNS: If you don't make it out in an hour, I'll send in security.

CNS Cutter
 ::heads towards the RR door:: CSO: Gee, thanks.  Why am I suddenly feeling like the sacrificial lamb?
   
CSO Lys
 *EO*:  Go ahead.
 
SO La’tan
 ::listens to the EO:

EO Davidson
 ::gets a shock from something:: Self: Son of a ::curses under his breath, grabs his tricorder and checks the power relay:: Dang, it's fused. At this rate its going to take at least 36 hours to get the whole array back online.

EO Davidson
 *CSO*: Do you know anything about sonar?
   
CSO Lys
 ::walks up to OPS::
 
SO La’tan
 EO: You okay, sir?

OPS Coreena
 ::Glances up::  CSO:  Everything okay?

EO Davidson
 SO: Yeah, just a perk of the job, Ensign.  Just a perk of the job. ::smiles::
   
CSO Lys
 *EO*: Yes, wave compression that bounces back to give a picture of the area.  Go ahead.

CNS Cutter
 ::knocks and then enters without waiting for an invitation but waves a hanky as a white flag::
   
CSO Lys
 ::smiles weakly at his fiancee::  OPS: Just another day on the Hayden, right?
 
CO Cutter
 ::laying back on the couch, trying to get rid of the frustration.  Opens one eye and looks warily at his wife::

EO Davidson
 *CSO*: Well what I was thinking was that we could set it up and use it to track down the planet. Once it hits anything it would give us a picture of the area ahead and give us a possible location. We could even drop sonar buoys and that way we could find our way back out too.

OPS Coreena
 CSO:  I have not noticed anything different.  However, I am still uncertain of this feeling that I should recognize that original signal.
   
CSO Lys
 *EO*:  Well sonar needs a medium to transmit through, I assume you are going to use some sort of EM wave?

CNS Cutter
 ::big fake cheesy smile:: CO: Hi honey.  How are you today?  Isn't it great to be out here among the stars?
 
SO La’tan
 EO: I thought sonar had to be transmitted through matter.
 
SO La’tan
 EO: Doesn't it use sound.
   
CSO Lys
 CTO: Ashlynn, why don't you come over and give this a listen.

EO Davidson
 *CSO*: An EM wave or EM pulse. It's more then likely going to have to be at a high frequency though.
 
CO Cutter
 CNS:  Let me guess, Talan sent you in cause he's a big chicken and you're trying to be cute so I don't feel tempted to kill you.   Close?

CTO Kostandinos
 ::steps closer to him:: CSO What am I listening to?
   
CSO Lys
 *EO*:  Sounds possible.  See what you can come up with.  Lys out.
   
CSO Lys
 CTO: Well, Coreena found that original distress call familiar.  Let's see if we do too.  ::nods to Coreena to play it::

EO Davidson
 SO: I believe it does, but it will still work if we get the modulation of the frequency right and we get it high enough.

OPS Coreena
 ::Puts the original signal on play::

CNS Cutter
 ::plants her hand on her hip:: CO: First.  Yeah, I lost the coin toss.  Secondly, I AM cute, dammit.  I'll keep telling you that until you believe it or just say it to get me to stop pestering.  Thirdly, you'd never be tempted to kill me.  I'd like to point out the "I'm too cute" part again.

EO Davidson
 SO: Find the exact frequency of the tetryons, if you can and let me know, ASAP. ::puts the panel back on:: *Parli*: Lateral sensor array is off line, sorry, fused power relay.  It is going to take 20 to 36 hours to replace.

CNS Cutter
 ::heads over to the couch and takes a seat::
   
CSO Lys
 ::listens intently::

OPS Coreena
 CSO:  I am sorry.  The computer is unable to clear it up any further.
 
SO La’tan
 ::gets out the tricorder to help find tetryon frequency::

CTO Kostandinos
 ::can hardly hear a thing::
 
CO Cutter
 ::smiles in spite of himself and pulls his legs up to make room for Keely::  CNS:  I suppose.  Damnit Keely, this is driving me crazy.  I HATE time travel.  HATE IT mind you.  I don't have a damn clue what to do next, only that every time I turn around, someone’s telling me I can't do what I want to.
   
CSO Lys
 OPS: Play it again.

EO Davidson
 *Parli*: You should also tell your sensors to be nice to others too.

OPS Coreena
 ::Nods and replays::
 
SO La’tan
 ::finds out the frequency:: EO: It’s 30 MHz, sir.
   
CSO Lys
 CTO/OPS: It is so garbled.

EO Davidson
 ::nods at the SO:: SO: Okay so if we set the frequency to 32 MHz, it should be enough to cut through the interference.

OPS Coreena
 CSO:  It could be due to the time disturbances of this area.

CNS Cutter
 CO: Ha!  Made ya smile.  See?  Cute and talented.  You married a rare woman, Jase.  Even if I do say so myself.  Which, of course, I do.
   
CSO Lys
 CTO: Anything?

CNS Cutter
 CO: As for the hate for the time travel part?  Yeah, I'm seeing that.  Kinda hard to miss, what with the stomping off the bridge and all.

CTO Kostandinos
 CSO: I can barely understand it, much less tell if I've heard it before.
   
CSO Lys
 CTO/OPS:  Still, something bothers me about it.  ::shrugs::
 
SO La’tan
 EO: Well what should I do, Sir.

EO Davidson
 *CSO*: Sir, we should be ready to try this within the hour. I would like to run a few tests though to make sure it works.

EO Davidson
 SO: Help me run a few computer simulations here.  Don’t want it to back fire on us.
 
CO Cutter
 ::winces::  CNS:  Not subtle, huh?

OPS Coreena
 CSO:  Then it is you as well.  ::Looks at the screen with a frown.::

CNS Cutter
 ::laughs:: CO: Maybe not to people who know you.  So other than part, what do you need me to do?  I'll do it.  You just gotta tell me.

 ::In the Inn, getting the guests checked out.  At the same time making sure that Sally is helping with the dusting.::
   
XO Skye
 CMO/CEO: Well, they'll probably want to know where we're from.  Why we decided to move here.  What our relationship to each other is.

 XO: So, are we set then?  I'm getting hungry.
   
XO Skye
 CMO: Yea, but we'll have to just practice.
   
XO Skye
 CEO:  Well, you ready to work for it?

CEO Michaels
 CMO: I'm in enough trouble, so I'm going to keep quiet about how you sound.  ::grins::
   
Morgan
 Holly:  Good, good. Have a seat by the stove.  ::Rushes over to the sideboard and grabs two cups and goes to the stove.  Pouring the coffee she hands one to Holly.::  So what is the news?

CEO Michaels
 XO: I still don't understand why a little picking of pockets is such a bad thing.

CMO Bishop
 ::sighs and keeps trying:: XO/CEO: Maybe if I just don't try to talk very much. I'll be the shy one. ::grins::
   
Morgan
 ::takes a seat, feeling relief to be able to be off her feet even if for a moment.::
   
XO Skye
 ::Considers a comment about the CMO being anything but shy.::

CEO Michaels
 ::heads off towards the town::  XO/CMO: Coming?  ::calls back::
   
XO Skye
 CEO: Because if we have to stay here long term, then we have problems.  Plus as Federation citizens, we have to obey the laws of the planet we're on.
     
Holly
 Morgan: Thanks for the coffee. Sellig doesn't want me to spend his hard-earned money on luxuries like coffee. ::takes a sip:: That's good!

CEO Michaels
 XO: That's the nice part, we don't know what the laws are yet.  I say we find out the hard way.  ::Grins::
   
XO Skye
 ::Looks up:: CEO: Wait a second.  Men are always in a hurry to go no where fast!
   
Morgan
 Holly:  Sellig is a tightwad and you can tell him I said so!

CMO Bishop
 ::watches as they near the town muttering as she tires to lose her accent:: Self: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog's back.
   
XO Skye
 ::Lifts her skirts to jog a bit and catch up to the CEO.::

CMO Bishop
 ::stumbles on the tail of her dress:: XO/CEO: It's been a long time since I last wore a dress.
     
Holly
 ::giggles:: Morgan: I'll be sure to tell him if he ever gets here.
   
XO Skye
 CMO: It's been, well let's not go into how long it's been.  I can totally identify.  And these heels!  I'm lucky I haven’t' already turned an ankle.

CMO Bishop
 ::looks at the buildings as they approach the edge of town::
   
Morgan
 ::Chuckles:: Holly:  You have high hopes.  When has that man been on time for anything?
   
XO Skye
 CEO: See anything of note?  Maybe a place we can eat something or work?

CMO Bishop
 ::lifts the edge of her skirt to show low heeled boots:: XO: Really? I hardly know I'm wearing these, they're like air.  ::cringes slightly:: For the most part anyways.

CEO Michaels
 ::mutters something about women always complaining as he points to an establishment across the way::
     
Holly
 ::takes another sip of her coffee:: Morgan: True, but he's been a good brother.

CEO Michaels
 XO: Sounds like a live enough place.
    
Sellig
 ::enters the inn looking distracted::
   
XO Skye
 CEO: Well let's have a look.
   
Morgan
 Holly:  Yeah, you've been lucky that way.  At least you have a brother.  Someone to look out for you should you need it.  Well lookie here, look what the cat dragged in.
    
Sellig
 ::barely looks around and heads right up to the waitress::

CMO Bishop
 ::nods:: XO/CEO: Maybe we'll get some real food in here too.

XO Skye
 ::Heads into the tavern wondering if they'd be so kind to help them out.:: CMO: Sure would be nice.
     
Holly
 ::puts down her cup:: Sellig: Well, where have you been Sellig? Your shift was over hours ago.

CEO Michaels
 ::starts to go into the bar first, then thinks better of it, and holds the door for the ladies::
   
Morgan
 <Sally>  Sellig:  Mr. Sellig, can you show me your car again?  ::Pulls on his pant legs.::
    
Sellig
 Waitress: Could I get LOTS of coffee, PLEASE??  ::looks at his papers and sits at a table:: Morgan/Holly: Huh ??  What ?

CMO Bishop
 ::smirks and mutters:: CEO: How brotherly of you.
    
Sellig
 ::looks down at Sally and smiles:: Sally: Oh, hello.  You want to see my crazy ideas, do you ?

CEO Michaels
 ::mutters to the CMO::  CMO: Hush up, and don't expect it once we're back.
   
Morgan
 <Waitress> Sellig:  You want coffee, I'll get you coffee. ::Walks away muttering. Comes back with a pot.  Drips a bit into his lap before she pours his cup.::   Oooops.
   
XO Skye
 ::Walks through the door, trying not to let her jaw drop at Brynn holding the door.::
   
Morgan
 <Sally> ::Eyes wide.::  Sellig: I surely do!
   
XO Skye
 CEO: Thank you, Brynn.

CMO Bishop
 ::shoots him a look:: CEO: Didn't expect it to begin with. ::winks::

CEO Michaels
 ::follows them in and looks around::
    
Sellig
 ::screams:: Waitress:: Aaaagh!  That's Hot!!
     
Holly
 Sellig: I wish you would forget about that silly car of yours. It's too dangerous.

CMO Bishop
 ::looks around the tavern::
   
Morgan
 <Waitress>  Sellig:  Coffee usually is.  You should watch where you are sitting, accidents happen you know.
   
XO Skye
 ::Heads up to the bar at the tavern. Looking for the person in charge.::

CEO Michaels
 ::catches the conversation at the word "dangerous" and looks over to the table where it originated::

CMO Bishop
 ::watches the display over in the corner as the waitress pours coffee over one of the patrons::
    
Sellig
 ::shakes head:: Holly: Progress, Holly.  PROGRESS !!!  P R O…  Oh,never mind.  You would never understand. ::brushes off the hot spot from a sensitive part of his body::
   
XO Skye
 ::Tries to mentally stretch out and see if they would be willing to help them or perhaps they need some help.::
   
Morgan
 <Waitress> ::Smirks and walks off to serve other customers.  Walks up to the CMO:  CMO: Anything I can do for you deary ?
   
XO Skye
 ::Mouths the word "JOB" to Jerlia behind the waitress’s back.::
    
Sellig
 ::gets out his drawings and shows them to Sally:: Sally:: You see, this is what I have. ::points to his drawings::

CEO Michaels
 XO: Very subtle Sam, like a brick.  ::walks up to the bar::
   
Morgan
 <Sally> ::Oooos and ahhhhsss::  Sellig:  Does it go fast ?
     
Holly
 ::smiles at Morgan:: Morgan: Men and their newfangled gadgets!

CMO Bishop
 ::mildly startled:: Morgan: Umm, yes actually.  My brother and sister and I are new in town.  We were, umm, looking for some type of  ::watches the XO out of the corner of her eye::  job. ::looks back at the waitress hopefully:: Do you have any?

CEO Michaels
 ::catches the word “fast” out of the conversation and looks over again::
   
XO Skye
 ::Glares at Brynn.  Heads over to Sellig.:: Sellig: Well doesn't that look modern.  ::Tries not to choke on the word.::
    
Sellig
 ::grins:: Sally: It'll go faster than any horse we have.  It'll be GREAT !!
   
Morgan
 Holly:  I know, too bad it won't get him too far.
   
XO Skye
 Sellig: What's it called?
     
Holly
 ::notices the CEO and smiles:: CEO: Hello there.
    
Sellig
 ::frowns and looks at Skye:: XO: It's my horseless carriage.  It will revolutionize the way we travel.  We'll be able to go around the world faster than ever. ::babbles on for 5 minutes::
   
Morgan
 <Waitress> CMO: Well, I'm not Morgan.  Morgan is the redhead by the stove.  She owns this establishment.  I think she is looking for a maid for the upstairs rooms.  You can always ask her.

CEO Michaels
 ::smiles sweetly::  Holly: And how are you this fine evening?
    
Sellig
 XO: And to top it all off, it runs on steam.

CMO Bishop
 ::overhears the word horse and cringes inwardly::
   
Morgan
 <Waitress> CMO: Can I get you breakfast or something to drink.  We don't allow spirits here though.
   
XO Skye
 ::Pulls out a seat:: Sellig: Runs on steam?  You mean you don't have to feed it or anything?
     
Holly
 CEO: I am quite well thank you. Are you new in town?

CMO Bishop
 ::nods:: Waitress: Thank you, I'll do that.

CEO Michaels
 ::catches "horseless carriage" out of the conversation::  Holly: Sounds like quite a fantasy the gentleman is cooking up over there.  What's that all about?
    
Sellig
 ::rolls eyes:: XO: Well of course NOT !!
   
XO Skye
 Sellig: Oh, how does it work?  It sounds quite fascinating.
   
Morgan
 <Waitress> CMO:  In the meantime…
   
XO Skye
 ::Thinks this is more along Brynn's line.  She never was quite good at even rudimentary engineering.::
     
Holly
 CEO: That's my brother Sellig. He's always been a bit of a dreamer, but a good man.

CMO Bishop
 ::looks over at Morgan:: Waitress: I wouldn't mind a glass of water if you have one. I've already had breakfast, thanks.
   
Morgan
 <Sally> ::Begins dusting tables even with the people still sitting at them.::
     
Holly
 CEO: Did I hear your friend say that you are looking for work?

CEO Michaels
 Holly: Oh, yeah, my...sisters and I. ::thinks inwardly how unbelievable that sounds:: moved up here.  Looking to make a start of our own in a new town.
    
Sellig
 ::frowns again and pics up his drawings:: XO: And you would be interested in this why stranger?  All my friends, even my family ::points to Holly:: think I'm nuts !

CMO Bishop
 ::heads over to the stove:: Morgan: Excuse me? Are you Morgan?
   
Morgan
 <Waitress> ::Nods::  CMO:  I'll be right back then.  ::Hurries off a gets the picture.  Coming back to the table pours the water into a glass and goes off to the other tables.::
   
Morgan
 ::takes a sip of her coffee.:: CMO:  That I am.  Who may you be?

CEO Michaels
 Holly: Oh, uh yeah, yeah in fact we are.  Spent most of our earnings just getting here.

CEO Michaels
 ::looks intently over at Sellig, wondering::
   
XO Skye
 Sellig: Well, not everyone is as forward thinking as others.  I find new things like your steam run horseless carriage fascinating.  I'm Samantha Brown.  Nice to meet you.
     
Holly
 CEO: My brother works in the foundry next to the mine. He might be able to find you something there.

CMO Bishop
 ::puts on her best smile and remembers not to use her accent:: Morgan: B… Brown. ::holds out her hand::  Jerlia Brown.
    
Sellig
 ::nods:: Nice to meet you as well.  :: is friendly but curious::
   
Morgan
 ::Takes her hand and smiles a little.:: CMO:  Welcome to my inn Brown, Jerlia Brown.  Are you just passing through?
   
XO Skye
 ::Tries to remember that it doesn't look like women have too forward a role here.:  Sellig: Anyway, can you tell me about this device?

CEO Michaels
 Holly: Well if there's a piece of machinery out there, I can fix it.  ::grins triumphantly::  And I'm quick to learn new trades as well.  We'd be much obliged for any help you could lend.
     
Holly
 :;motions to Sellig:: Sellig: This nice young man needs work. Think you might be able to get him into the foundry? He looks strong enough. ::admires the CEO's arms::

CMO Bishop
 Morgan: Not really, we're new in town. ::nods to Brynn and Samantha:: and we were just looking for work actually.  Your waitress told me you were looking for a maid?
    
Sellig
 XO: Why ???  Holly: Who does ?  ::sees the Bishop for the first time::

CEO Michaels
 ::holds his hand out to Sellig::  Sellig: Couldn't help overhearing your conversation, sounds like a fantastic invention you've come up with.  I'm Brynn.  ::grins::
     
Holly
 ::grabs Sellig's arm:: Sellig: This young man.
   
XO Skye
 ::Trying to appear shy and retiring.:: Sellig: Because it interests me.  Holly: I would be very interested in a job as well if you know of another one.
   
Morgan
 ::Slowly nods::  CMO:  I maybe.  Now tell me, why I should hire you?  You look too soft to be lugging around basket full of laundry and mopping floors.  Are you running from something?  ::Looks at her hands to see if there are any calluses.::
     
Holly
 ::smiles and winks at Morgan::
   
Morgan
 ::Chuckles at Holly because she is at it again. Leans and whispers.::  Holly:  Let the man settle in first.
    
Sellig
 ::holds his papers up close to his chest and stares at the strangers::  XO/CEO: Hmmmm, I don't know.  ::looks to Holly and wonders what she thinks::

CMO Bishop
 ::looks down at her hands opening them slightly wondering what Morgan is looking at:: Morgan: No, of course not. We just came her to town and we need to get settled that's all. And looking for employment seemed to be the best place to start. Don't you think? :: smiles warmly::
     
Holly
 ::sighs and nods::
   
Morgan
 ::Smiles::  CMO: Yes it is.  What experience do you have?
     
Holly
 XO: You want to work?
   
XO Skye
 Sellig: I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable.  I was just curious.  Where I come from, women take interest in things like that as well.  Holly: Yes, I do.

CEO Michaels
 ::sits down across from Sellig::  Sellig: There's not a machination out there that I can't fix.  Anything mechanical.  My friends call me a miracle worker.
     
Holly
 ::looks her up and down:: XO: Have you ever worked before?

CMO Bishop
 Morgan: Well, I was a doc… or a nurse rather, where I used to live, so I'm used to cleaning up messes and such.
   
XO Skye
 ::Taken aback:: Holly:  Of course I have.
    
Sellig
 XO/CEO: I suppose I can introduce you.  That's all I'll do.  It will be up to the foreman to see if you can cut it.
   
Morgan
 CMO:  Cleaning up is exactly what you would do here.   Hmmmmm I wonder if old Doc Don needs anymore help ?  ::ponders::
     
Holly
 ::stands and walks around the XO:: XO: You don't look like you've every held a broom before. What can you do?

CEO Michaels
 ::shakes Sellig's hand::  Sellig: Oh you won't regret it, I promise.  Thank you!  ::smiles::

CMO Bishop
 Morgan: Well, that would be great. If you could tell me where I can find him.
   
Morgan
 CMO:  Nah, you wouldn't do.  Doc Don is too particular.  I'll tell you what.  We will have a trial period, 1 week to see if you can handle this job.

CEO Michaels
 ::walks over to Sam and slaps an arm around her shoulder::  Holly: What can she do, why Sammy here can handle just about anything you throw at her.  She may not look it, but she's tough as nails she is.  ::Grins::
    
Sellig
 ::shrugs:: CEO: Won't be MY decision, it'll be the foreman's.
   
XO Skye
 Holly: I can clean just about anything.  I used to make a science out of studying cleaning supplies  ::Okay, so having worked in laboratories with ammonia.::
   
XO Skye
 CEO: Brynn, I've asked you not to call me Sammy, brother dear.

CMO Bishop
 ::nods awkwardly:: Morgan: Very well then. I'm a quick learner so I'm sure I'll be able to handle it.

CEO Michaels
 XO: Aww, yeah, but it hasn't worked for the past 10 years, why should it now.  ::grins wider::
    
Sellig
 ::shoves most of his papers all rumpled back in his bag::
   
Morgan
 CMO:  Ok then, you can start now.  The beds need changing and the sheets washed.  The laundry basket is at the top of the stairs.
     
Holly
 XO: Cleaning huh? I think the livery needs a new stable boy. Morgan: Think the livery could use this one? ::indicates the XO::
   
Morgan
 ::looks at her to see what she will do.::
   
XO Skye
 ::quietly between her teeth so no one else can hear. :: CEO: Because I know how to hurt you.
   
XO Skye
 Holly: Stable boy?  I AM a woman.  Trust me on that one.

CEO Michaels
 ::stifles a laugh, then goes rigid at her comment::

CEO Michaels
 ::nods enthusiastically to Holly, confirming that last statement::

CEO Michaels
 ::adds a roll of the eyes at the end, then a grin to finish it off::
     
Holly
 XO: You said you can clean anything and the livery needs someone to take care of the horses and mules. Maybe that is too hard for you.

CMO Bishop
 ::nods a little surprised she has to start so quickly:: Morgan: Okay, could you show me where I can find the new sheets?
   
XO Skye
 ::Takes her hands off her hips.  Not too enthusiastic about cleaning up manure.::  Holly: No, I'm capable of working there…

CEO Michaels
 ::whispers::  XO: Let's not forget we need some place to stay as well as food.  We can't afford both with only two of us working.
   
XO Skye
 ::Glares at the CEO:: CEO: Yes, brother dear.
     
Holly
 XO: Fine.
   
Morgan
 CMO:  There is a hall closet at the top of the stairs.  Everything you need is there.  Unfortunately my last washing tub burned.  My last maid, hmmmmm, set it on fire.  You'll have to hike down to the river I'm afraid.  It’s about 1/4 mile north of here.
    
Sellig
 ::looks around the inn to see how many other newcomers have arrived::
     
Holly
 Sally: Can you take this lady over to the livery stable and tell Pete that she's to be the new stable hand?
    
Sellig
 ::sees Bishop in the corner.  Stares for a moment and smiles politely::
   
XO Skye
 Holly: We're also looking for a place to live.  That we can afford on our salary.

CMO Bishop
 ::feels a set of eyes on her, turns and looks around::
   
Morgan
 <Sally> Holly:  Sure thing Miss Holly!!!  ::Just happy to get out of work.::  I'll tell Mr. Pete this lady is his hand now.
    
Sellig
 ::nods as he hears the XO:: Self: Ah, drifters.  That explains much.

Holly
 XO: The livery job comes with a room in the back. Sally will show you.
   
XO Skye
 Sellig: Not drifters.  People looking for a new life.  People wanting to get established so we can contribute to a new community.

CMO Bishop
 Morgan: Aye, Sir  ::pauses err::  Ma'am.
   
XO Skye
 Holly: Thank you.  Brynn, Jerlia, I'll see you in our "room" at the end of the day.

CMO Bishop
 ::notices Sellig looking at her and smiles meekly at him, nodding slightly::
   
Morgan
 CMO:  I assure you I'm no Sir.  You need specs honey if you can't tell the difference.

Sellig
 ::blinks making note not to talk outloud any more::

CMO Bishop
 ::cringes:: Morgan: Right, thanks, bed sheets.  I'll get right on it.

CEO Michaels
 ::watches Sam walk off::  Holly: You'll have to excuse my sister, she's a little pigheaded at times.
   
Morgan
 ::Smiles at Bishop.::
    
Sellig
 ::can't help staring at Bishop from some reason::

CMO Bishop
 ::looks over at the XO:: XO: Okay Sam..antha, I have some work to do.
     
Holly
 CEO: You can stay here at the inn if you like. The room next to me is empty.
   
XO Skye
 ::Mentally tweaks Brynn.::
   
XO Skye
 CMO: I'll see you then.

CEO Michaels
 ::glares at Sam and makes a note to talk to her later::
   
XO Skye
 ::Follows after Morgan::
   
Morgan
 <Sally> ::Pulling on the XO's arm:: XO:  Come on!!!  Petey has new ponies.

CMO Bishop
 ::nods at the CEO as she heads out the door, meeting Sellig's eyes again and shyly turning away::
   
XO Skye
 Morgan: I'm coming.  New ponies, huh?  That should be interesting.

CEO Michaels
 Holly: I'd hate to be in better conditions than my sister.  Perhaps once things get settled in we could move her into a proper room.  We'll pay of course, once we start making some money.
   
Morgan
 <Sally> XO: Uh huh, patch ponies and everything.  Mama says I maybe able to get one if I'm good.   Which has been really really hard to do.

CMO Bishop
 ::feels her face flush as she slinks out of sight.  Heads upstairs to begin her tasks::

CEO Michaels
 Holly: I, uh, don't mean to impose, but it's been a long day, and we've had nothing to eat.  Do you think something could be dug up?
    
Sellig
 ::blinks and stares out into space::
   
XO Skye
 Sally: That should be wonderful.  Do you know how old the ponies are?
     
Holly
 CEO: The stable room is quite nice. I think your sisters will be happy there.
   
Morgan
 <Sally> XO: Ponies are babies silly. ::Big grin on her face.::
   
XO Skye
 ::Keeps herself from rolling her eyes:: Sally: Ah, yes.  You're right.  How far is this stable?

CEO Michaels
 ::shrugs::  Holly: I hope so, they're so picky sometimes.  I suppose it's the price we pay for starting over.
     
Holly
 CEO: I think Morgan can fix you a fine supper.
    
Sellig
 ::picks up his coffee and drinks it down and pours himself another::
   
Morgan
 <Sally> XO: Just down the road. ::Runs off in front of the XO not looking to see if she is following.::

CMO Bishop
 ::nearly trips up in her skirts as she heads up the stairs.  Gathers the sheets in her arms::
   
XO Skye
 ::Feels too tired to run after Sally.  Follows after her as quickly as she's able.::
     
Holly
 Morgan: These new friends need some of that fine cuisine from your kitchen. Think you can handle that?

CEO Michaels
 Holly: Thanks so much.  You've been more than kind.  And don't worry about my sisters, they grow on you.  You'll learn to like them.  ::whispers with a grin::  Or at least tolerate them.
   
Morgan
 Holly:  I think Mabel can take care of that.  I'll go and get her to bring out the food.
     
Holly
 CEO: What did you say your name was?
   
XO Skye
 ::Finally arrives at the stables, Looks around for Sally.::
   
Morgan
 ::Hurries off to the kitchen.::
    
Sellig
 ::sits back down and scribbles some more notes about the suspension::
   
Morgan
 <Sally> ::in the stall petting the ponies.::

CEO Michaels
 Holly: Oh, I'm sorry.  Where are my manners?  I never introduced myself.  I'm Brynn, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ::looks at her quizzically::  It seems we're both guilty.  ::smiles::
   
Morgan
 <Pete> XO: You must be the new hand?

CMO Bishop
 ::looks down the dimly lit hallway and looks for the compartment with the sheets in it::
   
XO Skye
 ::Extends her hand:: Pete: That's what I'm told.
   
Morgan
 <Pete> ::Takes her hand.:: XO: What do you know about fine horses.
     
Holly
 ::smiles and extends her hand:: CEO: I'm Holly, a pleasure.
   
Morgan
 <Waitress>  ::Hurries out of the kitchen with steak, eggs and beans and plops in front of the CEO, some beans falling into his lap.  Scurries off again.::
   
XO Skye
 Pete:  They have 4 legs, a mane, and a tail?
    
Sellig
 ::gulps down more coffee and scribbles something about the pistons::
     
Holly
 CEO: I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more of you around here. ::really hopes so::

CEO Michaels
 ::shakes her hand gently::  Thank you again for your hospitality.  I'm sure.  ::smiles and turns to his food with a look of hunger in his eyes::

CMO Bishop
 ::finds a narrow cupboard and grins at layers of what seems to be blankets:: Self: This must be it.
   
Morgan
 <Pete> XO: Good enough for me.  You’re hired.  Okay, I'm behind inmucking out the stalls you can start there.  Lunchtime, I'll show you where your room is and discuss pay at that time.
     
Holly
 ::wipes Brynn's lap:: CEO: Oh that silly woman. Here, let me get those pants cleaned for you.
     
XO Skye
 ::Mucking out the stalls my eye!  Grumbles as she picks up a shovel.:: Pete:  There is a place to bathe after I'm done, right?

CEO Michaels
 ::jumps a little in astonishment, then pushes back his chair::  Holly: Thank you, I'm… I'll be fine, thanks.  ::takes a napkin and wipes off his pants, then sits back down::
